Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup all-purpose wheat flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup pitted fresh or jarred cherries

Equipment

  • 10x15-inch jelly roll pan
  • Hand mixer
  • Offset spatula
  • Cooling rack
  • Sifter

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, lightly greasing it.
  1. Beat the eggs and sugar in a large bowl with a hand mixer for 5 minutes until thick and ribbony.
  1. Add vanilla and milk, then gently fold in sifted dry ingredients until just combined.
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched.
  1. Run a knife around the edges and flip the cake onto a powdered sugar-dusted towel, peeling off the parchment paper.
  1. Roll the warm cake in the towel from the short end and let it cool on a wire rack.
  1. Unroll the cooled cake gently and whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.
  1. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the cake, leaving a ½-inch border, and dot generously with cherries.
  1. Roll the cake back up tightly using the towel, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  1. Unwrap, place seam-side down on a platter, and decorate with whipped cream, cherries, and chocolate shavings before serving.
